About
Hi All!
I’m new to blogging and never thought of it before I started reading Self Magazine and went on the Self website and found the Eat Like Me food blog which then made me curious and found other food blogs. i found them interesting since I have always been interested in healthy eating.
I started a blog of my own to track my weightloss progress and the changes that are going to come in my diet. I have toyed with the idea of a career change to become a Registered Dietitian. Considering I have an ungraduate degree in Business and Accounting and have worked in Internal Audit for 3 years it would be a BIG step. I would have to go back and take the science prerequisites and get a Masters followed by completed the Dietetic Internship and finally sitting for the R.D. exam. So for those reasons I want to make sure this is a smart move for me. I’m currently taking a Nutrition class at Northern Virginia Community College and absolutely love it. I think I’m going to sign up for Chemistry next and see if I can survive and come to a conclusion on changing careers. Anyways my Nutrition class is already helping me learn a ton about my diet and ways I can improve it. So I’ll share my new found knowledge :)
More Pictures!

Wow-I got into blogs this way too! I love Cristin’s blog, I think she has started a revolution! EatLikeMe has really changed the blogging world-especially food blogging! I am interested in healthy eating and gaining more ideas and widening my blogging buddies. I’ll be sure to keep checking up on yours…sounds great! I do have to say one thing about weight loss: it is a little bit of a triggering topic for me, as I am in recovery from anorexia nervosa. If I say one thing, it is the most important thing is to be happy with the way you are now! Woman need to embrace their bodies, it sounds like you aren’t too hard on yourself from the few comments I’ve read. Did you know yesterday was national Love your Body Day? What are your thoughts?
Hope to talk to you soon!

Lee,
I heard about the Love your Body Day. My sorority Tri Delta also had something similar going on last week. I saw Kath posted the link on her blog and I have it in one of my posts too. It mentioned to pledge to get rid of “fat talk” like saying im fat or i need to go on a diet. I think it’s a great idea and about time we acknowledge the issue that really effects all women now a days. I unfortunaetly have to deal with binge eating/emotional eating which lately I’ve had completely under control so now I’m just working on the extra pounds I put on this summer from my bad eating. But I’m not stressing over it. And you are so right we need to embrace our bodies!

Totally with you on that one. If you don’t mind me asking, where did you go to school?

Hello – I saw a comment on Kath Eats that mirrored my own love of cereal crumbles – and what do you know, we share a name, too! Good luck on your future plans. When I was in treatment for anorexia, my R.D. was able to help in a big way.
How do you like the northern VA area? My boyfriend to Fairfax/Vienna this summer and I love visiting him.

Hey Lisa! See thats why I want to be an RD I want to help people and work with people not just annoy them to tears by being an Auditor haha.
Love NOVA, so much to do! Only bad part if its expensive and the traffic but that comes with any big city I guess.
